The duo collect unwanted shipping pallets from around their South London homes, take them apart nail by nail and then rework the wood into the new design.

All of the nails are kept and recycled and the wood not used to create a table or chair is then used to create the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/x-chair-is-recycled-from-the-waste-of-another-recycled-chair/" target="_blank">X-Chair</a>.
